From February 24 to April 14, 2026, Milan
After closing to the public in 2022, the Administration is promoting a project that aims to restore to the community a public facility accessible year-round, balancing historical preservation, functional innovation, and environmental sustainability.
To listen to the opinions of residents and the local community, the City of Milan has chosen to promote an engagement process aimed at gathering input on the uses, functions, and ways of enjoying the future Argelati Swimming Pool, both in the pools and in the adjacent spaces.
The program is open to everyone and involves not only citizens but also technical and expert bodies, associations, committees, and institutions with knowledge of the area.
The contributions collected will flow into a summary document that will guide the Design Guideline Document (DIP) and, subsequently, the international design competition.
Calendar and how to participate
The process will take place between February and March 2026, including public meetings, participatory site visits, and dedicated online questionnaires.
